Note; the -win32-src.zip versions of Apache are nearly identical to the
.tar.gz versions. However, they offer the source files in DOS/Windows
CR/LF text format, and include the Win32 build files.
These -win32-src.zip files do NOT contain binaries!
See the binaries/win32/
directory for the Windows binary distributions.

All of the release distribution packages have been digitally signed
(using PGP or GPG) by the Apache Group members that constructed them.
There will be an accompanying distribution.asc file
in the same directory as the distribution. The PGP keys can be found
at the MIT key repository and within this project's
KEYS file.

Always use the signature files to verify the authenticity
of the distribution, e.g.,

We offer MD5 hashes as an alternative to validate the integrity
of the downloaded files. A unix program called md5 or
md5sum is included in many unix distributions. It is
also available as part of GNU
Textutils. Windows users can get binary md5 programs from here, here, or
here.

When we have patches to a minor bug or two, or features which we
haven't yet included in a new release, we will put them in the
patches
subdirectory so people can get access to it before we roll another
complete release.
